the cia would not comment. we know the cia has a working relationship with lebanese intelligence here. so that combination just shows you this very complicated war going on. imagine that syria, the regime of bashar al assad, lebanon with iraq and the possible assistance of the u.s., it shows one of the very complicated, you don't want to call it an alliance or cooperation but at least a sharing of resources among those parties. >> strange bedfellows. jim schuhto, thank you very much. how do you think this could be and whether she's a current wife or former wife, how valuable is she? >> it's because the intelligence is a slog, anderson. it's about a thousand pieces of information. this guy has been under a microscope forever. you want to know who he is and who he talks to. people like couriers. sort of like the sliver that led us to bin laden. wasn't a lightbulb moment but a sliver that allowed us on the courier network. that's the tiny piece she might be able to provide. >> there's obviously ethical issues at p
